Rice Pudding with Apricots and a Cherry Swirl. Rice doesnât need to be a savory dish; itâs just as yummy mixed with sweets. Try it in this fruity pudding for an afternoon snack or guilt-free dessert.
approximation. n. 1. the process or result of making a rough calculation, estimate, or guess: he based his conclusion on his own approximation of the fuel consumption.2. an imprecise or unreliable record or version: an approximation of what really happened.3. (Mathematics) maths an inexact number, relationship, or theory that is sufficiently accurate for a specific purpose. 4. (Mathematics) maths. a. an estimate of the value of some quantity to a desired degree of accuracy.. the process or result of making a rough calculation, estimate, or guess: he based his conclusion on his own approximation of the fuel consumption. 2. an imprecise or unreliable record or version: an approximation of what really happened.
If a finite difference is divided by b â a, one gets a difference quotient. The approximation of derivatives by finite differences plays a central role in finite difference methods for the numerical solution of differential equations, especially boundary value problems. Certain recurrence relations can be written as difference equations by replacing iteration notation with finite differences. Today, the term finite difference is often taken as synonymous with finite difference approximations of derivatives, especially in the context of numerical methods.
